The Opium Law.

At the Supreme Court in banco on
Thursday, April 7th, argument was
made in the habeas corpus case of
Manuel Brito, a Portuguese; con
victed before Justice Dayton of hav
ing opium in possession under the
celebrated Opium Act. Mr.. W A.
Kinney appeared for Britto, Mr.. f.
Hatch for the Government. 1t. A.
de Souza Canavarro, Commissioner
for the Kingdom of Portugal was
present.
Mr.. Kinney stated that his client
was unlawfully deprived of his liberty
inasmuch as the penalty provided for
by section 4 of the Act, which penalty
had been imposed upon his client,
was applicable only to the licensee.
Section 3 specifies what the holder OF
the license shall do; and section en-
acts that if any person acts contrary
to the provisions Of section 3, certain
penalties shall follow. No person,
however, other than the icensee
could violate section 3, therefore the
penalty under section could not law
fully apply to any other person. His
client did not hold the opium license,
and therefore could not be convicted
of having opium in possession contrary
to the provisions of section f. This
was penal statute and should be
strictly construed. 1t was not the
function of the Court to put an in
depreciation on a statute other than
that which its words conveyed. If
it be imperative, in whole or in part,
by reason of its contradictions and
other defects the Court could not
make it operative He cited cases at
considerable length in support Of
this proposition, but proceeded to say
that he did not wish to attack the law
as whole He knew that there were
large property interests in the license,
and he did not seek to assail the law
any further than as far as the inter
ests of his own client We're concerned.
His contention was that there was no
penalty provided by the statute for
the offense of which his client had
been convicted. He was unlawfully
detained IN custody and was entitled
to his discharge.
Mr.. Hatch contended that the
language and intent of the statute
were clear enough. 1t was not nee
essary to follow the counsel through
the cases cited by him as these were
not applicable. The possession of
opium without a license or a medical
certificate authorizing its use was an
offense under the statute for which
certain penalties were provided. In
this case conviction was had in the
Police Court for that offense, and the
minimum penalty had been imposed.
This law was primarily enacted for
revenue purposes and therefore being
fiscal measure, the strict rule of
construction in purely penal statutes
was not applicable.
The case was taken under advise
ment.

a HUNGARIAN HERO.
Seeing his Mother, Sister and Fiancee
shot rather than betray his country.

Seeing his Mother, Sister and Fiancee
shot rather than betray his country,
A Paris correspondent of the New
York Graphic writes: There has just
died in an insane asylum at Buda-
Pesth a man whose story recalls one
of the most terrible episodes of the
struggles of Hungarian independence
in 1S4S..
Ference Renyi was a schoolmaster,
and at that time was about q years
of age. He was high spirited, lively
kind hearted, and the idol of his
pupils. He was quite expert at play
ing the fiddle, and his services were
much sought after by the young peo-
pie of his native village to enliven
their fetes. He could also sing, and
many of his songs were of highly
patriotic character
The young man lived with his
mother and sister, but was engaged
to charming young girl, and soon
expected to be married. Just then
the Hungarian Government, having
proclaimed its independence, called
1OI O4SI0o n1ul
self, and was accepted.
One day, after having fought like
lion at the head of detachment he
was made prisoner by the Austrians.
Led before the notorious General
Haynan, Renyi refused to disclose
the position of the main body of the
Hungarian army Hyman, however,
was not to be foiled in his quest for
information, and to accomplish his
his end resorted to one of the most
barbarous acts that has sullied the
records of modern warfare. Finding,
on inquiry, that his prisoner was
native of a neiga oring village, and
that he had mother and sister, he
ordered the latter to be arrested and
brought to his headquarters. They
were then confronted with the unfor
tunate young man.
"If you want the lives Of these
women spared" Haynan then said to
him, you will give me the informa-
ton 1 have asked for"
Renyi made no reply. He trem-
bled violently, however, and his eyes
filed with tears, but he did not
yield.
"Don't speak, my son. cried his
aged mother; "do your duty without
reference to me; 1 have at most but a
short time to live"
And the young girl added:
eff you betray your country your
name will be furnished, and what
should do without my honor! Don't
speak, Ference. Be calm; shall die
bravely."
Renyi continued silent. In few
moments the two heroic women were
shot dead by order of the brute in
a generals uniform
Still another test remained. and
Lyman did not hesitate to apply it.
He had Renyi's tiancee brought be
fore him, and threatened her with a
similar fate. The latter was afraid
to die. On hearing what would hap
pen to her if her lover did not yield,
She threw herself on her knees and
besought him to save her.
Speak, Ferencz," she cried. "See,
am young, I love you-don't r1et
them kill me. By speaking you will
save yourself as well as me, and when

A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.
Four Planets Visible in the Eastern Sky
 at Early Morning.

Four Planets Visible in the Eastern Sky
 at Early Morning.
 Lovers of astronomy who looked at the sky little before sunrise on the only two clear mornings of last week enjoyed rare sight. In the eastern sky four planets were visible, extending in nearly straight line, at about uniform intervals, from near the meridian to the horizon Mars was well up in the heavens, showing faint reddish tinge. Next came Venus of surpassing brilliancy, then Jupiter and last Mercury. On one morning the waning moon (revers- ed crescent, ) rising very near Jupiter, ad- ded much to the picture. Mercury can be ferent times during the year, and probably not one person in . thousand has ever seen this fleeting planet. The combination of the four planets, as visible last week, was unusual, even to the eye of the practiced astronomer.

There is little doubt tha the effort
of Grover Cleveland to restore the
Rebel flags to the Johnnies was a
step in long drawn ont scheme to
render the Southern Cenfederacy re-
spectacle in the light of history, and
to enable the people Of the South to
get back, practically, to where they
were before the war. We do not be-
lieve in political scare-crows or CAM
paign literature tending to arouse and
infame the minds Of the people, but
there is an undercurrent to Demo-
cratic scheming which should COM
mand the earnest attention Of all
thinking people. There is more go
ing on in the White House and in
the different braches of the public
service, than the mere vetoing of pen
sion bills and the casting Of sneers at
Union Soldiers. The Northern Dem
ocracy are not to blame for this only
to the extent to which they endorse
Cleveland's action. But the Country
will be pretty sure to hold Mr.. Cleve-
land to a strict accountability.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads to consumption. 1t is therefore
singular that those afflicted with this fearful disease
should not make it the object of their lives to rid
themselves of it. Deceptive remedies concocted by
ignorat pretenders to medical knowledge have weak
ened the confidence of the great majority of sufferers
in all advertised remedies. They become resigned to
life of misery rather than torture themselves with
doubtful pallatives.
